Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels

The main concern would be lower quality electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard VRM, but they tend not to use low quality caps these days except maybe on budget boards.

The VRM temperature is a different sensor. You can have 69C VRMs when your processor is 95C

Irrelevant. If your CPU is chugging hard, then the VRM is chugging hard. That’s what causes high VRM temps.

Not really, my CPU is a 65W CPU. When it chugs hard the VRM is not even warm. My cooler is much weaker
